Gwinnett County Public Library January News and Events

STEM Saturdays
On January 20th and 27th the Lawrenceville Branch will be hosting a free coding class
presented by the Andrew Simpkins Innovation Foundation and taught by former NFL
player Maurice Simpkins. Students will learn Javascript and Python concepts and
applications and will also get free Tynker and Codemoji accounts that they can use in
their own time to improve their coding skills.

A session for grades K-3 will run from 10:30am-12:00pm and a session for grades 4-8
will follow at 1:00pm. Space is limited so registration is required. These classes have
proved very popular and GCPL is looking to add more future dates so if anyone
interested is not able to register please have them be on the lookout for more classes in
the coming months. Anyone wanting to register can do so online:
